Says Bill Maher, as idiot 9/11 Truthers disrupt his show this week. "Ass-kicking is what's called for."

Watch the disarray on the live show, with Bill himself getting involved in rousting a guy from the audience. Bill says that for all the things he's said, the one he gets protests about is for calling the 9/11 conspiracy theorists crazy. Here's the old clip:

On the new show, Maher observes that this was a case of defending Bush. He say's that as if it's odd that the assholes are on the anti-Bush side.

It would have been interesting if Maher had asked those panelists' opinions of the Truther movement. At the very end Sheila Jackson Lee gave some indication of what she'd say. She's apparently one of those who believes freedom of speech means disruptive, rude people can't be criticized without violating their rights.

RE: Maher: Would that the powers-that-be at the University of Wisconsin had such intestinal fortitude.

Bilby, it seemed pretty obvious to me that what she started to say was that she wasn't even going to bother making a reference to someone's First Amendment rights, and I find it inconceivable that I would ever vote for Sheila Jackson Lee.

Sheila Jackson Lee is Al Sharpton in a skirt and a member of Congress. If there's a TV camera rolling on a story about an African-American with a race-based grievance, she's there, whether or not the aggrieved is even one of her constitutents. Jesse Jackson's kid (the Congressman) isn't that big of a race-baiting grandstander. There's enough real racial grievance to go around without the likes of our dear Congressman stirring up crap. You can hardly watch local TV news in Houston without one more loudmouthed appearance by the dear Congressman.

I wouldn't mind the Congressman's opposition to the Iraq war if she weren't engaging in the same bull-crap smear tactics of so many Bush-haters. Enough already with the "Bush lied people died." Not exactly the kind of argument that makes your opponents want to listen.

People on the lunatic fringe always act bizarrely. What you are seeing is an aging "Peace, Love, Dove" hippie population suffering the effects of the Timothy Leary doctrine of "Tune in, turn on, drop out-We are the world" politics that eschews accountability and responsibility for themselves but nobody else.

Obviously someone didn't get the memo in Maine before they started the program of providing birth control to pre-pubescent girls. What do they thing they are doing, preparing these young women for a life of debauchery in Hollywood?

Maher was correct in stating these fools need their "Ass kicked" back to tangible reality.

I particularly love the bit when the idiot congresswoman from Texas bleats about the First Amendment, as if she thinks Bill Maher is an arm of government...

Anyways, maybe this was just a simple case of the "don't taze me bro" mindset: disrupt a public event, provoke physical force from the authorities and reap the publicity. Where is Andrew Meyer these days, anyway?

The video that "no one" posted of Rudy taking down some rude caller was great too. Don't call up, act like an asshole on air, and then try to play the sympathy card when you get ripped up. Giuliani's reaction was very restrained.

Ann said..."Maher ... say's that as if it's odd that the assholes are on the anti-Bush side."

Why do you still think that's an oddity, given all you've seen in the way that the modern left sees themselves, sees everyone who disagrees with them, and behaviorally-speaking conducts itself (not least vis-a-vis yourself)?

"wouldn't mind the Congressman's opposition to the Iraq war if she weren't..."

She's a Congresswoman, goober. I think you did that on purpose because you repeated it twice. I think you need a new right-wing hobby like flying a single-engine Cessna with just the right-wing attached. Fly right into the Bush White House, so you can dance the two-step with your cowBOY lover.

Trumpit, you strike again. Your most recent satire of a mindless KOS kid is spot on. Keep up the humorous posts.

I saw this earlier. I was actually bored to death watching Sheila Jackson-Lee and fipped over to the 49ers game, missing the truthers. Maher's offbeat, and I disagree with him, but I like his act here.

Politically he's a cross between a Democrat and a complete asshole. He's one of those people who thinks "libertarian" means "the government should do what I want it to, when I want it to". The correct term for that is "immature", not "libertarian".
